Platelet-activating factor and human thyroid cancer.
OBJECTIVE Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a pro-inflammatory and angiogenic lipid mediator involved in several types of cancer in humans. The levels of PAF, lyso-PAF (the PAF precursor), phospholipase A2 activity (PLA2, the enzymatic activity implicated in lyso-PAF formation) and acetylhydrolase activity (AHA, the PAF-degrading enzyme) were investigated in various diseased thyroid tissues. ...
متن کاملExpression and Clinical Significance of Activating Transcription Factor 3 in Human Breast Cancer
Objective(s): Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. This study investigated the expression and clinical significance of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) in human breast cancer and its relationship with the clinical outcome of breast cancer. Materials and Methods : ATF3 expressions were detected in 114 primary breast cancer tissues and ...
متن کاملHuman plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase.
Platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-0-alkyl-2-acetylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a biologically active phospholipid synthesized by a variety of cell types upon appropriate stimulation. PAF is a potent hypotensive factor and it activates platelets and inflammatory cells at concentrations as low as 10”’ M. Removal of the acetyl moiety at the sn-2 position abolishes the biological activity and t...
متن کاملHuman Plasma Platelet-activating Factor Acetylhydrolase
Human plasma platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase hydrolyzes the sn-2 acetyl residue of PAF, but not phospholipids with long chain sn-2 residues. It is associated with low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, and is the LDL-associated phospholipase A, activity that specifically degrades oxidatively damaged phospholipids (Stremler, K. E., Stafforini, D. M., Prescott, S. M., Zimmerman...
متن کاملEffect of Follicular Fluid and Platelet-Activating Factor on Lactate Dehydrogenase C Expression in Human Asthenozoospermic Samples
Background: Application of follicular fluid (FF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in artificial insemination improves sperm motility. Lactate dehydrogenase C (LDH-C) is a key enzyme for sperm motility. In this study, the effects of FF and PAF on the sperm motility index and LDH-C expression were investigated. Moreover, LDH-C expression was compared between asthenozoospermic and normozoosper...
